After taking a shower, Feng Ye walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed and was about to sit down comfortably in the main room to wait for his meal.
Ye Qingling suddenly walked in and gave him a task to do.
They went to find their son, who had wandered off to play somewhere, and their two nephews and nieces.
Under the scorching sun, having just finished showering, he really didn't want to get covered in sweat again, so he stood at his doorstep and started shouting at the top of his lungs.
The problem is, he called out for a long time, but he never received any response.
Left with no other choice, he had to grit his teeth and set off under the scorching sun to search for it.
They kept calling out as they walked, until they finally encountered an elderly man who told them where the children had gone.
Following the directions, we found six or seven children squatting on the ground under a large banyan tree, doing something we couldn't quite place.
Feng Xidong and his son were among them, but Feng Yanmei was not seen.
Feng Ye was puzzled as to what these little kids were doing. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that each of them was teasing ants with a small twig.
It turns out that some child caught a grasshopper, killed it, and placed it next to an ant nest, attracting a large number of ants to come and carry away the food.
Whenever the ants are about to carry the grasshopper's carcass into their nest, they use a small twig to push the carcass away, and then watch the ants continue to carry it relentlessly.
The children watched from the sidelines, occasionally bursting into laughter.
Looking at the scene before him, Feng Ye couldn't help but smile.
Children today have such simple and pure happiness.
A simple little game can keep them entertained all day long.
Looking to the future, once smartphones are widely available, where will we still see such innocent and pure scenes?
Back then, kids were obsessed with playing on their phones all day long, wishing they could hold them for 24 hours a day.
If their parents don't let them play, they'll throw a tantrum, roll on the floor, and cry.
Some even litter, verbally and physically abuse their elders, and some have even resorted to extreme measures such as threatening to jump off buildings or self-harm to blackmail others...
Feng Ye stopped in his tracks and did not go forward to disturb the group of children.
Instead, he found a protruding root under the huge banyan tree, sat down, leaned against the trunk, and closed his eyes to rest.
Anyway, the construction workers haven't finished get off work yet, and they'll pass by here on their way home for lunch.
Let them keep playing, we'll go back together later.
The children were playing with great enthusiasm, their innocent little faces filled with focus and excitement.
Whenever they see the ants about to successfully carry the grasshopper's carcass into their nest, they shout excitedly.
Then, playfully, he pushed aside the grasshopper's corpse, eagerly anticipating the start of the next round.
However, not long after, Feng Ye suddenly heard a crying sound.
He suddenly opened his eyes and found Feng Xinan squatting there, her little face covered in tears.
Feng Ye quickly got up and went over, squatted down, and asked softly, "Anan, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Feng Xinan looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears, and choked out, "It hurts...it hurts so much..."
As he spoke, he held up his hand, which was holding a small twig, to show him.
Feng Ye looked closely and saw that there were several ants struggling to climb up the small branch.
One of them had even climbed onto the back of the little guy's hand, biting it tightly and refusing to let go.
Even though he was bitten by ants like this, the silly boy still couldn't bear to throw away the little twig in his hand.
"This idiot..."
Feng Ye felt a wave of helplessness. He quickly reached out and pulled the twig from the little guy's hand and threw it away, while simultaneously crushing the ants on the back of his hand.
Then spit some saliva and rub it on the small red spots on the back of his hand where ants had bitten him.
"Don't worry, Anan, it's okay to get bitten by an ant. It won't hurt in a bit."
The little one sniffed, stopped crying, and turned to pick up some twigs again.
Clearly, he hadn't had enough fun yet, and he quickly forgot about the ants biting him.
Seeing this, Feng Ye picked him up and said, "Okay, that's enough playing. Let's go home for dinner."
"Food...Nannan wants to eat."
Upon hearing about food, the little guy's eyes lit up, and he stopped thinking about playing, grabbing Feng Ye's neck tightly.
Feng Ye turned to the other children: "Adong, stop playing and go home for dinner. And you guys, hurry back home, don't wait for your parents to come looking for you."
Feng Xidong said "Oh," threw away the twig, and stood up. The other children also scattered.
"Where's your sister? I haven't seen her."
"My sister is playing hopscotch over there, I'll go call her."
Feng Xidong pointed to a house not far away and skipped over there.
A short while later, the two siblings came running over like lightning, and then continued running towards home.
Feng Ye strolled leisurely with her son in her arms, casually picking a foxtail grass from the roadside and putting it in her mouth.
When the three children and one adult returned home, the meal was already on the table, waiting for them and the workers to return.
After having lunch and filling his stomach, Feng Ye felt a little sleepy, so he went inside to sleep.
There's a saying, isn't there?
When people are well-fed and clothed, they think of lustful desires.
While lying in bed, his little brother was actually getting a bit restless.
Unfortunately, it's daytime now, and there are many people at home, so it's not advisable to announce it during the day...
He had to suppress his lust and instead let his mind wander...
